Rb20 Sump Removal For Temp Probe

Folks,

I have a HKS mechanical Oil Temp gauge I want to install... where would you recommend it be placed...the sump? I would have considered putting the sender into my Spin On Adaptor but I have oil pressure already there, and its actually far to big to fit into it.

So this leads me to the next issue of drilling the sump to fit it... can I remove the sump off the motor without removing the engine or crossmember?

Thanks alot in advance!

JK

Have you considered getting a line made from somewhere like pirtek or enzed to fit the adapter and then remote mounting the temp sensor? It wouldn't be much different than mounting the sensor in a remote mount filter.

It would also be a lot easier than having to remove the entire sump and welding in a fitting.

On a side note: Aren't the pressure sensors usually the big ones? My temp sender is tiny in comparison to my pressure sender.

My pressure sensor is built into the guage (being mechanical) - so its only a very small oil line that has to go into the spinon adaptor. The oil temp sensor is quite big - about 12mm in diametre!

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?

      You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.

      Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.

      I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon

      TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
